Additional information

Sivamagha I founded the Magha dynasty in the Gangetic plain region, with the dynasty's control centered around Kaushambi and parts of what is now Uttar Pradesh. The Maghas remain poorly documented in Sanskrit literary sources and are known primarily through their coinage and a handful of inscriptions, making numismatic evidence the principal record of their administrative reach. Dating individual rulers within the dynasty carries genuine uncertainty — the 220–225 range is a scholarly approximation, not an established fact.
